Dodge was the sole provider of 1/2-ton trucks for the US Army during WWII, producing some 14,000 vehicles by war's end. Dodge altered the basic commercial chassis for military use, giving it, among other things, four-wheel drive.

Developed by the Quartermaster Corps, the jeep and other motor transport vehicles were transferred to the Ordnance Department in August, 1942. Despite its lightweight, the jeep could perform a variety of functions, including towing a 37mm antitank gun over a 7% grade.

Nicknamed the 'Priest' by British crews because of its pulpit-shaped machine-gun turret at the front, the M7 grew from US experience with howitzers mounted on half-tracked vehicles. The War Department soon realized that a fully tracked carriage was required, and the M3 tank was modified to fill the role.

The Ausf E mounted a huge 8.8cm KwK36 L/56 cannon and featured two MG34 machine guns for close support against enemy infantry. By war's end, 1,354 vehicles had been produced, some rolling off the Wegmann assembly line.

In many respects, the Panther tank was viewed as the finest armored fighting vehicle of the Second World War. Based in large part upon the Soviet's highly successful T-34 medium tank, the PzKpfw V Ausfuhrung G (Type G) was built by several manufacturers including MAN, Daimler-Benz, and MNH.

This is the wrecker vehicle version of the Berliet GBC 8 KT truck. In this version, the rear load bed is fitted with a hydraulic crane that has a lifting capacity of 10 tons, a swinging radius of 278 degrees, and a reach of 5.52 meters.

The 3/4 ton weapons carrier was used to transport weapons, tools and equipment in the field to frontline combat units. The body is of the commercial pickup type, with a removable canvas top mounted on three bows.

The M41 "Gorilla" self-propelled artillery piece entered development in late 1943, although it didn't enter service until January 1945. Like the M40, the M41 was based on the M4 tank chassis and used the 155mm 'Long Tom' gun.

By all accounts, the M4 Sherman medium tank was regarded as the workhorse of the US Army during World War II. In fact, virtually all of the Allied armies employed the Sherman in their armed forces, including the British, who developed an upgunned variant called the "Firefly".

When the Korean War began, the US military had no medium tanks in production. The M47 appeared as an interim measure even though work had already begun on its successor, the M48. The first 'Pattons' were completed in July, 1952.
